The Jacky Perrenot Group, European transport and logistics provider, has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire Vos Logistics, the Dutch-based logistics group. The proposed acquisition is part of Jacky Perrenot’s international development strategy and its ambition to reach €2 billion in revenue by 2027.|
The completion of the transaction remains subject to customary consultation and regulatory approvals. This initiative comes just a few months after Jacky Perrenot’s acquisition of ArrowXL in June, a key step that strengthened the Group’s position in last-mile and B2C logistics across the UK. With the proposed acquisition of Vos Logistics, the Group now aims to reinforce its B2B capabilities at a European scale, while continuing to support selective B2C operations.
Strategic Move
With revenue of €1.3 billion, Jacky Perrenot has been a longstanding benchmark in transport and logistics, recognised across Europe for its operational excellence, customer focus, and leadership in fleet decarbonisation.
Vos Logistics, operating 35 branches across six European countries, generates around €400 million in turnover and is widely recognised for its expertise in international transport, multi-country distribution, and value-added contract logistics. Together, the two groups would form a pan-European operator, combining strong local networks with expanded international transport capacity.
Customer Focused
The combined organisation would represent around €1.7 billion in annual revenue, supported by over 12,000 employees across Europe. It would enhance the Group’s geographic footprint, operational performance and flexibility, and expand the range of integrated solutions available to manufacturers, retailers, healthcare providers, construction partners and e-commerce businesses.
Philippe Givone, Chairman of Jacky Perrenot Group, said: “This project is fully aligned with our growth trajectory and our ambition to build a European leader in sustainable transport and logistics. By joining forces, we can offer our clients broader coverage, higher value-added services and a responsible performance-driven model.”
Philippe Cuoc, CEO of Jacky Perrenot Group, added: “Our industry is undergoing profound transformation – operational, technological and environmental. This acquisition would accelerate our transformation and reinforce our position as a long-term, sustainable and innovative partner for clients across Europe.”
Frank Verhoeven, CEO of Vos Logistics, stated: “This partnership is a tremendous opportunity to create one of Europe’s most complementary logistics networks. We share common values with Jacky Perrenot, which will be the driving force behind this project.”
Shared Culture
Both groups have built cultures rooted in customer commitment, responsibility and operational proximity. This alignment, human, environmental and technological provides a strong foundation for a forward-looking, high-performing European logistics group.
This proposed acquisition comes at a pivotal moment for the European logistics industry, characterised by:
-growing demand for global and integrated solutions,
-the need for greater supply-chain agility
-accelerating environmental and decarbonisation requirements
-continued consolidation across Europe.
